This November FILM AFRICA is planning a series of film screenings and events to celebrate 21 years of Nollywood.
We’re also compiling a free ‘zine that shares stories about, and insights into, the last 21 years of Nigerian video film. We are looking especially for texts discussing Nollywood consumption + production in the UK. No money, I’m afraid, but plenty of glory.
Your contributions to the ‘zine can be:
– personal (eg, “Why I Love Funke Akindele”)
– conversational
– interview-based
– research-based
– visual
– or even (slash) fictional.
All contributions should be accessible to an (intelligent) non-academic audience.
